51-year-old WWE legend could become a World Champion again

A WWE legend was recently asked about his thoughts on another run as a world champion in the near future. The icon had an interesting reply, while also speaking about a potential scenario that could lead to a world title run.

In a recent episode of the Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, the reigning TNA World Tag Team Champion was asked by a fan if he would ever win another world championship. Hardy claimed that it was dependent on his brother and tag team partner, Jeff Hardy's condition, and that he would not be opposed to winning a world title if his brother was potentially injured or away from programming:

"I think a lot of that would depend on probably Jeff's status. Uh, the only thing I think would make me go in in that direction at all is if Jeff was hurt or injured. Jeff had had a little injury that's kind of been bugging him, but he's getting a little better now. But, say if something happened and Jeff was hurting on his own, like I wouldn't be opposed or if he had to be out for an extended amount of time, I wouldn't be opposed to having a TNA run for a world championship, you know, and possibly trying to do what I could to to pitch in and contribute and help with the company if need be. So I don't know, but once again, I would never say never."

WWE icon revealed he would team up with his former rival if The Hardy Boyz didn't exist

In the same episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, a fan asked the veteran who he would have teamed up with apart from his brother, Jeff. Surprisingly, the former WWE United States Champion revealed he would have liked to team up with Christian Cage:

"I actually would have liked to have teamed with Christian for a while. I would have liked to have seen the team of Matt Hardy and Christian have have a a good solid run for a bit."

The Hardy Boyz had a very prominent feud with Edge and Christian in WWE, elevating each other as the top acts in the tag team division at the time. All four veterans remain active, and it will be interesting to see if they face each other again in the near future.
